TAÏGA

Border Collie · Female · Puppy · 2 months

TOUFFINETTE (renamed TAÏGA by me) is a female Border-Collie puppy, from a breeding program that asked me to take her in, after discovering her congenital deafness. This deafness at birth is the result of her "double Merle" genotype, meaning that both of her parents are carriers of the Merle gene.

TOUFFINETTE (rebaptisée TAÏGA par mes soins) est un chiot femelle Border-Collie, issue d'un élevage qui m'a sollicité pour la prendre en charge, suite au constat de sa surdité.

About TAÏGA

What life with TAÏGA looks like

TAÏGA is a medium-sized puppy/kitten border collie dog waiting at twitter:image in France.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting TAÏGA, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about TAÏGA?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. twitter:image handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw TAÏGA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt TAÏGA if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — twitter:image will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is TAÏGA already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if TAÏGA isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with twitter:image early rather than rehoming privately; they know TAÏGA and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
